the owl and the pussy cat went to sea

Fee has arrived! Yay, I'm no longer a loner, well, for a couple days, haha.

We moved into our room and there are two Swiss girls who speak perfect English. I'm getting increasingly embarressed by the fact that we Brits don't speak other peoples languages... But anyway, they seem nice enough, and we all share the gripe that the radiator is a pain the ass. It hisses (its broken, the hot air which is meant to stay inside it is leaking out which makes the room boiling and humid) most of the night and starts again in the morning which wakes you up. Not cool, we've all complained, but to no avail. Fingers crossed they fix it later. I asked to get moved rooms but noone seems to really care. The managers in tomo morn apparently so maybe mention it to her.

Today me and Fee started walking down Broadway and had a v nice pain du chocolat and cupa tea in a nice cafe place, went into Victorias Secret again (I am majorly debating the pros and cons of this night dress which is gorgeous but a bit pricey) and then headed for a stroll through Central Park, from Dakota and Strawberry Fields on West to Alice in Wonderland on East. Got some cool snaps of us sitting on Alice's knee. Then headed down 5th Avenue and went into Abercrombie and Fitch, which was just plain cool. It was this huge building, and dark like it was club with amazing loud music. All the clothes were just on wooden shelves around the outside, but it was really really dark and cool. Three floors, first we went through and got all your stuff Alice. Some debates on sizes because it was all XS or S and stuff not 2 or 4. I've tried it all on tho and they all seem okay, except your trousers which are majorly flared at the bottom, so are you sure you want those? They had nice 3/4 length versions. The prices you put down in quid is how much they were in $$$s so v cheap. Give me a text asap cos I need to sort it out and post it. I've already decided I'm having my last shopping splurge there cos its so gorgeous. And it smells like Abercrombie and Fitch, it is just so sexy. Thinking of buying a guys stripy shirt for throwing over a bikini in the Cooks but can't decide... I have to sort out my priorities with PJs and shirts! Oh and Alice they had nicer shirts than the Jack Wills ones, more fitted, have a look at them, I might split with you if you get s ladies one, as well as if I get a guys one. Anyway, after that did the usual GAP, H&M, Sephora (little bit of money spent... I was reasonaly restrained!)... Wanted to go into Tiffany but felt a bit scruffy, maybe the last day we'll nip in. Anyway, it started really snowing by this point so me and Fee had some lunch in a Starbucks and then explored the subway! V scary, we managed to get a metro card but were v confused about which train to get, eventually figured it out n relieved to make it to 103rd st station! So less walking now thats sorted. Gona have some tea after here, and then chill out upstairs.

Tomo we're gona do Times Sq, Broadway and all down there. Only full 3 days left really, which is crazy. Its so nice having someone to talk to tho, so glad Fees here, made it all the more magical!

Another thing I've noticed (which I'd forgotten to mention but remembered today cos Fee kept laughing at it) is ALL the dogs have jackets on. Its so funny, some have little hoods with fur lining, I mean, why would a dog need a hood?? Incase its hair gets wet?? Also, can you imagine putting a woolly jumper on your dog before taking it out for a walk? Big dogs look the funniest in jumpers. I did actually see an old Chinese guy walking through C.P the other day with his Scotty dog and it had little shoes on. Thats just taking the piss!

Mum thanks for booking the hotel, forgot my notebook right now but I'll get the details tomo. Got my $20 refund for the last night so thats all sorted. Just need to book the shuttle bus.

Must dash as ever! Much love,
